Microscope

The Omano OM99 is the top of the range of Omano zoom stereo microscope that compares favorably with its Olympus cousin. Featuring 6.5x-45x parfocal magnification, it is built round six prisms and, in our opinion, is the best quality stereo microscope out of China. The two Super Wide Field SWF10X eyepieces enable window pane viewing for less eye strain and include rubber eyecups. Dual diopters are integrated into the eye tubes for individual eye adjustment. and interpupillary adjustment range is 55mm-75mm.

The image can still be viewed through the right eyepiece.
